This banksia seed grew from flower bud since October (or earlier) 2012. It took months for the bud to mature to an open flower and that was in December 2012. It took months for the seed head to grow to this size. There are a few flower buds slowly growing to maturity. I expect to seem them ready for the birds in December. Below is a picture of the bud, taking its time and looking beautiful in every stage of growth.
It is not a clear picture, but the candle-like bud is behind the hairy seedhead.
